Amplifier considerations
TCS series speaker enclosures should be driven by high quality power amplifiers designed for true professional use.
Amplifiers should be capable of delivering long term broadband power equal to the loudspeaker’s program power
rating at its stated nominal impedance. The use of under-powered amplifiers must be avoided as heavily clipped
signals can cause permanent loudspeaker damage.

System controllers with bi-amplified and tri-amped systems
These systems must be used with Turbosound LMS-D24 or LMS-D26 controllers, since these provide vital operating
and system security features. If you do not have a controller, DO NOT USE the loudspeaker without one; please contact
your Turbosound dealer for further details.
Turbosound LMS-D2X controllers provide factory presets for all TCS systems, as well as additional user program slots.
1. Power up the controller(s) and associated power amplifiers.
2. Press RECALL to select the appropriate program from the preset menu using the ‘A’ ROTARY ENCODER.
3. Press RECALL again to accept the preset. The controller will un-mute and is then ready for use.
Self-powered loudspeakers
Powered TCS loudspeakers feature very efficient integrated Class D amplifiers and control electronics modules,
providing a completely self-contained professional sound system. The XLR inputs and outputs are electronically
balanced and are wired pin 2 hot, pin 3 cold, pin 1 ground. Amplifiers will operate over a range of mains input voltages
from 100V to 240V AC without adjustment.
Connect the mains power using the supplied Powercon mains connector.
Connect the signal input from a professional mixing console to the female XLR input, and link out to additional
powered loudspeakers from the male XLR output if required
1. Power up the loudspeaker. After a short self-test routine the loudspeaker will un-mute; it is now ready for use.
Networking capability
TCS systems are designed to offer control and monitoring of system parameters over a BvNet network in real time
using a PC and TurboDrive™ software. LMS-D2X controllers are equipped with network cards and are pre-configured
with factory programs for all TCS series models. Self-powered TCS loudspeakers have built-in network functionality on
RJ45 connectors.
Download the TurboDrive™ software from the supplied CD or from http://www.turbosound.com
and follow the
installation instructions.
Install the drivers. If connecting via RS232 there is no need to install drivers. If connecting via USB install the USB
drivers which can be found on the CD that came with your Linea Research USB interface.
